"Hhmmm...Maybe going to the National ZOO isn't the best idea."
Just kidding is was lots of fun and no this lion was not apart of the "roam free" exhibit. Anyone who is comes to the D.C. area with kids make plans for the National ZOO. It is free like all the other Smithsonian's and it has a wide variety of animals. Jared and Anna had a great time.
We stopped by the petting zoo first and they got to brush some llamas, goats, and donkeys. This was Anna's favorite thing at the zoo next to the butterfly room (which by the way was the "roam free" exhibit.) We then went to a sea lion training show and that was another favorite. After that we kind of just roamed around and saw the lions, tigers, and other small cats, monkeys, birds, fish, and others
We stopped at one point and had lunch on some benches.
The one thing you have to be prepared for when you go to the Zoo is a lot of walking and a lot of hills.

Audrey did so great on the drive and in the stroller. She really travels well.
This is Anna's concerned face as we watched some orangutans climb out of their cages and up a tower connected to other towers by cables.
This cable systems allow the orangutans to travel from one end of the Zoo to the other all on their own. It was amazing to see how they walked the tight ropes so high in the air.
Anyway the National Zoo was a lot of fun. We recommend it and can't wait to go again.

Hey I have that watch, I am wearing it right now :)
Glad to have some more insight into this place--I've considered taking the kids there several times but have never done it! Do you take the metro there?
We parked in the zoo parking, $20 for the day or you could get a family membership for $60 or something like that and get free parking and free admissions to over 100 zoo's nationwide. The zoo was awesome! We had a great time!
Thanks for the info, Kevin--very helpful!! We might just make it there yet...
